There is one night a month when all of Downtown Memphis is together in one place: South Main Art Trolley Tour.
Trolley Tour is a night when all of the shops and galleries in South Main open their doors until 9 PM. There is often free or discounted wine and beer, live music, and great conversation.
This event is an excellent one to bump into old contacts and make new ones. Downtown’s most influential leaders always stop by, along with Memphis loving downtowners. If you haven’t been, you should check it out.
Again, this is more of a social event, but be sure to keep your business cards on hand. You never know who you might meet.
